Better WP Security & eStore images are not showing up

[HafnerDesigns]

I have a client that I set up eStore on her site. I also set up a plugin Better WP Security to help keep hackers out. Better WP Security locks down .htaccess,logins and other areas that might have vulnerabilities. It’s quite possible that I have it too tight for estore to work. Can you tell me what estore needs to work correctly?

Here’s a link to site. http://storytellin.com/puppets

thank you..

@Ruth Summey

The email is sent as a text message. It is not possible to include images.

@wzp Thank you for the link. I had already reviewed that before posting here. It doesn’t really cover the problem I have.

All product pictures disappear unless I log into wp dashboard. I was trying to see if it might have to do with Better WP Security because that is when I started noticing the problem. Even now, whilst not logged in, there are no visible images [http://storytellin.com/store/books/]

@HafnerDesigns, this is what’s happening. When you use a fancy display the HTML src attribute of your image is set to the Full URL of your thumbnail image. For example:

<img src="http://storytellin.com/wp-content/themes/images/store/book-covers/storytelling_puppets_props.jpg">

But now it is set to:

<img src="http://storytellin.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/lib/timthumb.php?src=http://storytellin.com/wp-content/themes/images/store/book-covers/storytelling_puppets_props.jpg&h=125&w=125&zc=1&q=100">

If you copy and paste this URL in your Browser address bar you will get a 404 (file not found) error. So obviously that plugin is modifying the thumbnail path.

@wpCommerce How do I fix this?

[admin]

Go to eStore settings and uncheck the “Enable Smart Thumbnail Option” feature. That other plugin you are using is blocking this feature unfortunately. The issue with some security plugins is that you get false positives sometimes which makes it incorrectly block a perfectly valid operation.

[HafnerDesigns]

I did find that check box… is that a timthumb program that runs there? There have been a lot of exploits with that file and could be the reason it is blocked.

Thank you for your help.

[admin]

Yes, it uses timthumb script. The exploits were with the old version of that script. The developer of that script corrected the mistakes long ago.
